HELP!

While watching Courtney’s volleyball games this season, I’ve observed something. When the ball is in play, a fan—often a parent—will sometimes yell, “HELP!” The purpose is clearly to grab the team members’ attention in hopes that a missed ball will be avoided and a successful hit made.

This got me thinking. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge in strength, a very present help in trouble.” (KJV)

How many times do I go through my day caught up in my own circumstances, forgetting this profound truth? For Courtney’s volleyball team this simple word says a lot. It means that the one calling out realizes that there is a need and has confidence in the one called on to meet that need.

The next time I find myself in need of help—may I cry out to the One Who is truly able to make all grace abound to me.

Amen! This is great Rena; I love this comparison! Isn’t it amazing how you can find some type of inspiration in even the most mundane of everyday things? God is good and definitely never misses a beat to put something into perspective for us.

I love chocolate, love to write and find cleaning my house therapeutic. Most of my time currently is spent running the roads with my teens, potty training my toddler, and desperately grabbing moments curled up next to my husband watching a movie ...and becoming more and more captivated with the Lover of my soul.
